FINE BIT OF ROAD. 



Mayor J. H. Winter, E. C. Anthony, chair- 

 man of the board of public works, and the mem- 

 bers of the street committee of the Xegaunee 

 council, have inspected the work being done by 

 the city, and also by the county commission, on 

 the road between Xegaunee and Marquette. One 

 of the Xegaunee men says that he has never seen 

 a finer macadam road than the one being built by 

 the county commission, and that when the work 

 is completed to the Marquette city line the road 

 will be as good as the streets in most of the 

 cities in the upper peninsula. The commission 

 has completed from three to four miles ot the 

 road east of the Morgan location and an effort 

 is to be made to finish the improvement to the 

 Marquette line before winter sets in. 



STONE QUARRY BUSY. 



The operations at the limestone quarry 

 owned by President D. F. Fitch of the Duluth, 

 South Shore & Atlantic Railway and former 

 State Railroad Commissioner Chase S. Os ; 

 born of the Soo at Fiborn, in the east end of 

 the upper peninsula, have attained a very 

 large scale. From 500 to 600 tons of the 

 product are quarried and shipped every day. 

 The stone is of superior quality, and is in de- 

 mand for use at blast furnaces. A large num- 

 ber of men are employed at the works, and a 

 thriving little town has been built up. The 

 name of the community is derived from the 

 first two letters of Mr. Fitch's name and the 

 last four of Mr. Osborn's. 



CHEBOYGAN'S GOOD ROADS. 



Cheboygan county is to be commended for its 

 decision to improve the piece of road lying be- 

 tween Tower and the Presque Isle county line. 

 Deputy Surveyor O. S. Hayden and a corps of 

 assistants have been surveying the road, and 

 from the stakes set the present road will verge 

 to the south several feet. It is said the work 

 will begin at once and when completed will bo 

 equal to the best gravel road in that county and 

 that the improvement will cost several thousand 

 dollars. The road will be of immense advantage 

 to travelers between Onaway and Tower, and 

 to make it complete it will be up to Onaway 

 and Allis to make the road to the county lino 

 equal to that ot Cheboygan county

ELKLAND TO THE FORE. 



At a meeting of the township board of Elk- 

 land, Tuscola county, it was decided to make ap- 

 plication to the state for building two miles 

 more of state reward road next year. The new 

 road will be built from the McKim corner, one 

 mile west of Cass City, and extended two miles 

 north. The road will be surveyed soon and :i 

 profile of the road will accompany the applica- 

 tion. 



Of course, the members expect that the action 

 of the board will be approved at the annual 



township meeting and that the taxpayers will 

 vote to raise a sufficient amount to add to .iic 

 state's appropriation which is $500 a mile, so 

 that the fund will he sufficient to care for mak- 

 ing the improvements planned. The noco>s.i~y 

 amount has always been forthcoming and a dis- 

 appointment is unlocked for in this instance. 



Elkland township citizens have sampled state 

 reward roads for two years and they are well 

 satisfied with their investment. The slogan i* 

 "state reward for all the leading roads in Elk- 

 land township." And this achievement will be 

 real'zed in a few more years 



Chris Schwarder, who has the contract for 

 building the two and one-half miles of state 

 road north of Cass City has completed the work.
